S02: Ground-breaking Theories on Sleep
Regulation and Function
1:00pm – 3:00pm
Chair:
Carol Everson, PhD
Faculty:
Mark Blumberg, PhD; Carsten Korth, MD, PhD;
Markus Schmidt, MD, PhD; and Jerome Siegel, PhD
Psychologist Level of Content:
Intermediate
Objectives:
1. Discuss the dynamics of four new and updated
theories about why we sleep;
2. Recognize, with broad understanding, the forces
acting on sleep and affecting central and peripheral
functions attributable to sleep;
3. Gain insight into why sleep is a vital life experience
and why it may have evolved.
Refreshment Break
3:00pm – 3:15pm
General Sessions
O02: Novel Insights into Pediatric Sleep
Disorders
3:15pm – 5:15pm
Psychologist Level of Content:
Intermediate
Objective:
Discuss novel findings on the risk, treatment
and functional outcomes of disordered sleep in the pediatric
population.
S03: Clinical and Basic Science Perspectives
on Mechanisms of REM Sleep Behavior
Disorder
3:15pm – 5:15pm
Co-chairs:
Alex Iranzo, MD, PhD; and John Peever, PhD
Faculty:
Isabelle Arnulf, MD; and Mark Blumberg, PhD
Psychologist Level of Content:
Intermediate
Objectives:
1. Identify disease mechanisms in REM sleep behavior
disorder (RBD);
2. Analyze the link between RBD and degenerative
disorders;
3. Recognize how RBD may be used to develop
neuroprotective treatment for degenerative diseases;
4. Discuss basic brain mechanisms controlling REM
sleep; and
5. Review how malfunction of REM sleep circuitry
contributes to RBD.
S04: Substrates, Mechanisms and
Neurodevelopment of Sleep Regulation
3:15pm – 5:15pm
Co-chairs:
Thomas Kilduff, PhD; and Salome Kurth, PhD
Faculty:
Chiara Cirelli, MD, PhD; and Jared Saletin
Psychologist Level of Content:
Intermediate
Objectives:
1. Review the state-of-the-art findings regarding sleep
regulation at molecular, anatomical and behavioral levels;
2. Discuss the most recent findings from research of
humans and animals related to substrates of sleep
regulation and possible mechanisms;
3. Identify anatomical correlates of the rodent and
human sleep EEG and discuss the implications of
novel findings for individual differences and brain
development; and
4. Describe various animal and human models to better
understand sleep regulation.
